Well I know you can get live chickens at Goodlands market on a saturday morning. They're not sold as pets if you know what I mean... but no reason they couldn't make a good pet. Maybe you could rescue one or two? :) Read More
day use of hotels by butimbusy
Hi, My family and I enjoy visiting the various hotels/resorts on the weekends. Since all beaches are public, most hotels are happy to let us in to use their beach facilities for free, then we can buy lunch or drinks there if we wish. Last ...

It turns out that Citizenship not even an option! by SirRichBranson
Hello, My wife and I have been reading the forum for last few days but we seem to have discovered what for us would be a show-stopper in ever immigrating across to Mauritius. I am a senior ICT professional though even that wont help if we've ...
To be honest I wouldn't even bother thinking about it. If you are moving here with the mindset of moving permanently you are alrdeady jumping the gun. First come here, work, then decide if you want to stay for good. You may change you mind anyway, ... Read More

Cost of rental homes in Mauritius by HeyJude
We have lived in the same house in Mauritius for five years; it is a large house with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, nice balconies, good size garden with swimming pool and lock up garage. It is an older home with many little ...
It's mainly greed and an attempt to artificially inflate the market. Some expats come over with no perception of the market and end up paying way over the odds for the first place they see, which is what some owners hoping for. The downside for some ... Read More

It's not really anything to do with the expats. Most Mauritians dont really integrate with other ethnic groups in my experience. For example white Franco Mauritians don't interact with anyone else and vice versa. Culturally they seem to be miles ... Read More

I think we're having 2 separate conversations. I'm sure there are varying degrees of 'good ownership' and thats not my concern. I'm sure there are owners who don't look after their dogs as well as they should. But thats a minor issue compared to the ... Read More

Dogs in Mauritius?
My honest opinion is that it would be a very limited venture and would have to be aimed mainly at the expat community. Attitudes towards dogs here are a million miles from what you will be used to in the U.S. Which is a shame :( Read More

True, but in this case the landlord has already agreed that there were no damages to speak of and has agreed in writing to pay me most of my deposit back. They just haven't done it lol. I would be quite confident of winning in that case :) Read More
